Rip-Tide Update #41

Hello all Rip-Tide Members,

I was gone with the family for Memorial Day weekend but now I'm back. And a lot has happened since I have been gone. And a lot needs to be talked about.

The new website. It has been reported that the site went down once again over the weekend. Let me explain what happened and what's going on now.

Last week, our site was suspended because we were using to much database on the hosting account. So the website was switched to a temporary server that proved to be unable to handle it also. So then it was moved again to our own server, which I am not sure what happened to that but it failed also. So now it is in a new server that is holding stable at the moment.

So at this moment the New Website is up, and it's stable. It has some bugs and I am going to work on those right away, after this update.

When I switch to a highly professional server, you will be updated before it happens. A lot of you want to donate money for a new server and I am very grateful for that. Although, I still don't want to take your money and I don't need to at this moment. If and when I do, I will let everybody know. Counting up the numbers people are willing to donate, we could afford a very nice one with 24 hour support! That means the site should never be down! So again, the site is up and stable.

All the links you should be promoting are in your back office under "promo links" They will be updated soon also.

NOW.....The front-line! Over the weekend we lost 9 people on the front-line. Which is sad since these people got scared and left because of the site problems, I assume. Let me explain to you new people what this means.

The front-line is the 2nd wave of signups. We have 234 people that signed up with TOAN and are holding the "front-line" for us. There are 9 spots to fill. Everybody that holds a spot in TOAN with our 2nd wave will get their first level in TOAN filled on the 3rd wave. (the 3rd wave is already over 1/4 full of free Rip-Tide members)

So it's first come first serve for those spots on the 2nd wave. If you have not signed up with TOAN yet and would like to get paid from the 3rd wave, please email me at riptideteam@gmail.com and I will send you the link for TOAN.

Listen up people. We just had a very rough week. I understand how people can start feeling down because of these problems like the site being down many times but you have to understand that problems WILL COME! It's impossible to stop them, but it's not impossible to work through them. We are still incredibly strong and we got over 39 members in the last couple of days. We are around 600 strong!

That means that we are more than 1/4 of the way to the 3rd wave already! 9 people just left the front-line who will no longer get to benefit from the 3rd wave. But I am sure they will be filled. Everytime I say there is a spot open, many people want to jump in. And they are the steel that is replacing wood.

This is how it goes. We are back on our feet and moving forward again. I need to get in the new website and put a lot more content in it and fix a couple of things, but then we will be roaring forward. At least I can say that the emails coming in are emails of strength and determination with very little angry people. And that is a great sign.

I do need to tell people that thing take time to work out, and to split at the first sign of trouble is just sad. I noticed our big hitters didn't leave and that's because they know how things are. They are not worried about the problems we just had because they have surely experienced it before and have worked though them.

Running a membership site is a lot of work and it takes a lot of energy. And of course that mean time also. But that is normal. It's also necessary to delegate the work load to others that are willing. And we have a bunch of people willing to help.

To start, we have a new support email that you can use that Simon and Raul have control of. So if you have basic questions and need help, they are the guys to go to. the email is supportriptide@gmail.com

Right now, I am going to the site and work out some bugs and get busy building. Everybody should go back to advertising so we can hit the 3rd wave in a few weeks. THINGS ARE MOVING THAT FAST!! And now that we are back in business, things should be moving faster.

Alright?! There is NO STOPPING US! That is for sure! Give me a "HELL YEAH" if you're with me!
